I LEARNED A VERY IMPORTANT LESSON, BREHS.

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

Always follow your first thought....

2 days ago I came home from work and the elderly lady next door to me left her car door wide open. My first thought was to go knock on her door and tell her or at least close it for her but I decided not to.

Fast forward 4 hours later, I went outside to grab something out the car noticed it and noticed her door was still open. Now know she isn't the friendliest of neighbors so I decided to STILL not say anything.

At about midnight my husband hears a pounding at the door and it's his homeboy who is our neighbor on the opposite side. He's telling my husband he needs help pulling our elderly neighbor out of her bushes. She fell around noon and couldn't get back out and has been laying there for almost 12 hours! I'm like, "Damn...if I would have knocked or tried to maybe I could have helped her."

Anyway, they get her out and call an ambulance however she refused to go and said she just wanted to lay down. My other neighbor took her in her house and laid her on the couch and she ended up dying there from dehydration.

I can't help but think I could have saved her life just by going to check on her when I first thought about it.

No one deserves to die alone no matter how mean they were...

Now I'll never know.

You are a piece of shyt.

Common sense says you go up and deal with the situation pronto since the person is old. You let that old women die and I hope you live with that for the rest of your life. This isn't even about learning a lesson but normal everyday empathy you have for a human being.

Oh, man, that is horrible. I hope you don't let guilt eat at you.

That sucks.

But to be honest it's understandable. As a black man my first instinct in these types of situations is to not get involved lest I end up getting blamed for whatever happened...my first thought would be "I should probably dip, If someone calls the cops they'll probably blame me for whatever happened" even if it's not always rational or the right thing to do.

Dumbass. Common ssense says hit the liq/try to get her house keys and run through her jewelry box.

Instead you slept and now an old lady is dead cuz of u. You could have saved her. Its like when thAT guy could saved thAT other guy from drowning, but didn't, and Phil saw it all then at a show he found him. Sorta like that lady in a way, you couldaa stopped her from drowning
